Canary Blue Cyclyrius webbianus

La Palma - April 2001
The Canary Blue is endemic to the Canary Islands, where it is locally
common. I found many colonies on the island of La Palma. However,
during the heat of the day, which is when I always saw it, it is
unbelievably restless and at several colonies I never saw an individual
actually stop. These pictures are of a rather tatty male which did play
the game, albeit briefly.
